LiontipsRublev — Borgesh forecast and bets on the ATP Doha match
Command Analysis
Current form
Rublev started the tournament in Doha with a victory over Alexander Bublik (6-3, 6-4). In the confrontation with the representative of Kazakhstan, Andrey made six aces, made three break points and lost one game on his serve. It was the fifth victory for the Russian this season, with four defeats.
Professional qualities
Rublev remains one of the most powerful players on the tour, especially when it comes to forehand. His forehand strikes have crushing power, allowing him to dominate the draws. However, lately Andrey has been experiencing problems with variability – he has become less likely to use the entire width of the court and sometimes loses the depth of his strokes, which makes his game predictable.
Current indicators in the tour
Rublev has 16 ATP titles won during his career. He won two of them last year - Andrey won in Hong Kong and Madrid. The Russian is currently in tenth place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
Rublev has reached the quarterfinals in Doha the last two years.
Current form
Borges beat Otto Virtanen (7-6, 6-3) in the first round of the Doha competition. In a duel against a Finnish tennis player, Nuno made three aces, made three break points and lost two games on his serve. The Portuguese has nine wins and five losses this season.
Professional qualities
In recent years, Borges has transformed from a typical grounder into a versatile tennis player. He moves perfectly on the court, acts tactically competently and has become much more confident on the hard court. The forehand remains his main weapon, and the stability on the back line allows him to compete even with powerful opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Borges is ranked 39th in the world ranking. The Portuguese has won three ATP titles in his career. Last season, he became the winner of the competitions held in Phoenix and Bostad.
Interesting facts for betting
Borges has played four tie-breaks in the last three matches.

Rublev may not be in the best playing conditions right now, but he should pass an opponent like Borges calmly. Nuno can only offer the Russian a serve, but in shootouts on the back line he is unlikely to be able to beat Andrey.
